1
[Intro: (4x)]
2
From Rags to Riches (riches)
3
Bet you I'mma be the richest
4
[Verse 1:]
5
I started off as an army brat (Atten-hut! )
6
Seven months, class act
7
I was racin' down the block
8
As a matter of fact
9
I could've been a track star (I guess I am)
10
I stacked bars
11
Comin' through your system in them phat cars (uh)
12
Cross country isn't that far
13
It's like I'm in the race, don't know who you cats are
14
See one day I fell from grace, landed in this place
15
My whole sh*t erased from talkin' back to my momma's face
16
Like I was lost in space
17
Without a trace, cuttin' class, bein' Mrs. Fast Ass
18
Gettin' blasted with dad, got caught up in the flash
19
My Nana goin' mad, had to make the dash
20
Saw a fell up in the streets
21
Did anything for cash
22
And anything to crash, in anybody's path
23
Gave everything I had
24
Took what I could grab (check it)
25
It was just a bunch of open rags
26
[Chorus (Bobby Valentino):]
27
This is the story in the life of a hustler
28
Running for the come up
29
No one ever thought I would ever blow up
30
So I guess I had to show up
31
Now everywhere I go
32
The people wanna know
33
They wanna know where I came from
34
Not havin' a pot to piss in
35
Stop and listen
36
I'll tell you how I came from Rags to Riches
37
[Verse 2:]
38
I remember sellin' coke
39
Can't believe that I was poisonin' my folk
40
Now I let my throat be the antidote
41
Always kept my hopes high
42
Now mama don't cry, 'cause I'll be close by
43
With the most high
44
I was playin' Robin Hood (in the hood)
45
Little Red Riding Hood
46
Til' the barrel pointed where I stood (yeah, I stood)
47
But walked away like I was absolutely positively sure I could
48
Attitude on f*ck it
49
Some dollars in the bucket
50
Been scheming steady dreaming
51
For a chance to make some duckets
52
Caused a little ruckus on the sideline
53
Fully reconstructed every guideline
54
From the alley way to Cali, on the Grammy day
55
Went from disarray to mayday, mayday, mayday
56
Ran away from the sickness with a quickness
57
And went from rags to richness
58
[Chorus (Bobby Valentino):]
59
This is the story in the life of a hustler
60
Running for the come up
61
No one ever thought I would ever blow up
62
So I guess I had to show up
63
Now everywhere I go
64
The people wanna know
65
They wanna know where I came from
66
Not havin' a pot to piss in
67
Stop and listen
68
I'll tell you how I came from Rags to Riches
69
[Verse 3 (Bobby Valentino):]
70
Man, I struggled so long
71
Did whatever it took me for me to get on
72
I wouldn't let nobody stop me
73
Even if they told me I can't
74
I said I'mma do it, watch me
75
And now I'm just living life lavish
76
Money, cars, and clothes
77
Yea I got to have it
78
It's been a long hard road to make it
79
In this business
80
But I told y'all I'll be the bestest
81
[Chorus (Bobby Valentino) (2x):]
82
This is the story in the life of a hustler
83
Running for the come up
84
No one ever thought I would ever blow up
85
So I guess I had to show up
86
Now everywhere I go
87
The people wanna know
88
They wanna know where I came from
89
Not havin' a pot to piss in
90
Stop and listen
91
I'll tell you how I came from Rags to Riches
